  • Patent number: 7797869
    Abstract: A preferably weather resistant multi-section upright stanchion assembly for a construction site document storage apparatus, a real estate display sign and the like. The stanchion assembly includes a plurality of elongated substantially similar stanchion sections and a ground-engaging tip. Each stanchion section includes an elongated body having a hollow first end thereof and a second end thereof sized for slidable, releasable, lockable engagement into said first end of the next adjacent stanchion section to facilitate ease of height adjustment of the stanchion assembly. The stanchion assembly releasably connects at one end into a mating support cavity formed between the front and back panels of the inner frame of the storage apparatus. A single or two spaced upright stanchion assemblies support two horizontal spaced display panel support arms which, in turn, support a preferably multi-panel display sign.

  • Patent number: 7578087
    Abstract: A weather resistant construction site document storage apparatus including an outer enclosure having a front, a back, two spaced side and top panels formed as a single weather-sealed unit having an open bottom thereof. An inner document frame has a top, two spaced side, and back panels, all of which are formed as a single unit. A document retaining panel is connected to, and upwardly extends from, the bottom panel of the inner frame to define a trough, a remainder of a front surface of the inner frame being rearwardly displaced adjacent the back panel to provide an open interior volume for document placement. The outer enclosure is sized for close non-binding sliding engagement over the inner frame to cover the open front surface and to weather protect documents placed into the interior volume. Mating sliding engagement between the inner frame and the outer enclosure allow the outer enclosure to be slidably lifted upwardly and releasably held thusly for document placement and removal.

  • Patent number: 7055272
    Abstract: A weather resistant construction site document storage apparatus comprising an elongated outer enclosure having a front panel, a back panel, two spaced side panels and a top panel, all of which are formed into a single weather-sealed unit having an open bottom thereof. An elongated inner document frame has a top panel, two spaced side panels, and a back panel, all of which are formed into a single unit. A document retaining panel is connected to, and upwardly extends from, the bottom panel to define a trough, a remainder of a front surface of the inner frame being substantially open to place documents into the trough. The outer enclosure is sized for close upward and downward sliding engagement over the inner frame to cover the open front surface and to weather protect documents placed into the trough. A slidable connector positioned between the side panels of the outer enclosure and the inner frame allow the outer enclosure to be slidably lifted upwardly for document placement and removal from the trough.
